LSU Libraries

Not such a great library to boast about. Compared to the libraries that other universities have this is relatively small, requires remodeling. It is so small that it can't accommodate the students during the exams time. Moreover the toilets are never maintained.

Wonderful place to study on a not busy Friday! I will say though that is sad how little LSU invests into the library. The floors all have black grout, the building is older, and it's just so-so in that space. Especially compared to EBR public libraries!

All of my experiences in the library have been positive and full of learning! Unless you go at the end of the week, the math lab is fairly accessible and very quiet! Any complaints about other people being loud in the library are understandable but it doesn't change that it's a fantastic learning environment!

A depressing and overall dirty feeling place to study. Don’t bother with the restrooms. Guarantee 75% of the tables will have gum stuck underneath them. Really sad that LSU can’t give its students a nice updated place to utilize. Lacks in every category compared to other public university libraries. If you are in the area don’t bother. :

While I go to LSU, I've visited numerous universities in the state and out-of-state, public and private, big and small and it's ridiculous how outdated and poor maintained this library is. Other universities have up-to-date libraries with a variety of amenities and options for students. The student workers act as you'd expect - chit-chatty and useless for anything beyond asking where the bathroom is. Speaking of the bathrooms...avoid them.

I'm describing my experience as a student seeking a quiet place to study and do homework: if you plan on going to the first floor to do homework in a quiet environment, don't. It's never quiet at all and people excluding the IT desk talk at normal volumes to each other and on the phone for hours at a time. The desktop keyboards and mice have never been cleaned before, even superficially. The IT desk and front desk are helpful but the printing area is usually filled with workers who are unwilling to help and never stop small-talking to each other. I can't imagine trying to read a book in this library.

Quiet library? Comfortable? Are we all going to the same library y’all? First floor is full of obnoxious people who think this is Tiger Land, but that’s ok because they will all fail out theirs semesters : Oh, don’t forget about the overflowing toilets and the worn out chairs and booths. Sorry if I’m complaining too much y’all, but I don’t pay $15k per semester to say: GEAUX TIGERS.

This place is nice for studying however be prepared for it to be loud on the 1st-2nd floors. Also it is always 60°F for some reason so if you dont have: a jacket, sweatpants, gloves, a beanie, a personal heater, and can burst into flames to cool off then you can only study at max 3 hours in here before your hands become overly cold to write/type anymore.

This library is AWFUL! Why is the wood paneling still here? Why are the toilets always overflowing with urine, vomit, semen, or a combination of the three? Every day when i walk into this library my day get a little worse. Actually, it gets a lot worse. If the devil had a favorite library, it would be this library. This library is the meeting place for all my least favorite people in this world. In order to make this library less atrocious, I challenge F. King Alexander to supply me with all the free monster I desire, therapy dogs on standby 24/5, and nicer security guards. All in all, 5/5 would come here again.

I am a senior student, and the LSU library has needed remodeling since before I came here. Other universities seem to take pride in their libraries. Our schools' lack of care for the library makes us look bad, sadly.
